It is located in the Gallery Route parallel to the Donaukanal (Danube Canal) and extends between Mosergasse and the Siemens-Nixdorf-Steg pedestrian bridge.

The stop, designed by Otto Wagner on behalf of the Commission for Transport Facilities in Vienna, was structurally completed in March 1900  and opened on August 6, 1901.

This decision was revised on November 6, 1919 after the end of the monarchy, but initially had no practical effect because the steam tram service on the Danube Canal line had to be completely stopped on December 8, 1918 due to a lack of coal.

At the Grünentorgasse exit, the Otto Wagner-style reception building is still preserved, which can only be reached from the platform area via a fixed staircase.

The second exit leads from the side platform in the direction of Heiligenstadt onto the promenade along the Danube Canal and can be reached at ground level.
